We sell by the 'bunch'. A large farm basket filled with about 6 different things that you u-pick fresh from the garden and orchard is $36. A single pint basket (or bunch) of fruits, flowers, vegetables, or herbs is $6. Our organic potted plants range in price from $6 to $18 each. We have dried herbs, garlic, bundles of heirloom wheat, seeds, raw honey, and organic Black Point olive oil in the shed. Items in the shed are individually packaged and priced (from $3 to $27).


We are located at 501 La Paloma Rd., El Sobrante, California.


Our regular u-pick hours are Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from noon to five. You don’t need a reservation to come u-pick during our regular u-pick hours. We have alternate times for reserved tours and events on our website, which you can reserve at least four days in advance. Another reserved service that we offer are private horse interactions with Magic Ben, hosted by Karen Rose Mathews.


We have free parking. Cash, Venmo, credit/debit cards, Paypal, and EBT are all accepted.
